Columbus Granted Delay on Desegregation
The NAACP will not appeal a federal judge order delaying desegregation of Columbus public schools until September 1978. Judge Duncan kept plans for buses and budget revisions, with a November deadline for a fully itemized budget and a October bus purchase. Superintendent Joseph Davis welcomed the extra time for planning while noting January return to a segregated setting for students.
